Our school is founded on the belief that an individual’s potential for success extends far beyond performance on standardised tests. That’s why our admissions process considers the unique qualities and experiences that make up each child. When determining the ‘best fit,’ we evaluate academic, artistic, athletic, and community achievements that showcase exceptional potential to thrive at TGS. Additionally, we value families with a demonstrated, longstanding interest in education.

Our Tuition Fee covers all curricular activities and learning resources, including books, stationery, and iPads or MacBooks. It also includes compulsory curricular outings, associated transport, and campus maintenance. However, the cost of school lunches and Co-Curricular Clubs is not included in the Tuition Fee.

We are excited to be opening 7th and 8th Grade at TGS in March 2025. As we continue to grow organically with our oldest cohort, we look forward to celebrating our first 12th Grade TGS graduates in 2029!

Currently, 10% of our student body attends The Garzón School on partial or full bursaries, made possible through long-term private donations to the TGS Endowment Fund. We remain deeply committed to growing the Fund as part of our mission to promote broader access to a life-changing TGS education.

We are pleased to offer tuition fee discounts for families with multiple children attending The Garzón School. A 10% discount is applied to tuition fees for the second child, 15% for the third child, and 20% for the fourth child and beyond. This initiative reflects our commitment to supporting families and making a TGS education more accessible for siblings.

The Garzón School operates on a southern hemisphere academic year, running from February to December. We start the academic year earlier than most Uruguayan schools, allowing us to evenly distribute terms while offering a longer winter break, which is especially appreciated by our families and staff with northern hemisphere roots. This approach ensures a balanced academic calendar that meets the needs of our diverse community. You can see the current year’s calendar by navigating to “Student Life” → “Calendar & Term Dates” on this wesbite.

Several families have successfully transitioned from northern hemisphere schools to join TGS. This process typically involves a midyear entry point in July, with students placed in the cohort they have recently completed. This approach allows learners to acclimate to their new surroundings and adjust linguistically and socially before advancing to the next grade level the following February.
